Disney twenty-three Takes Readers Behind the Scenes of the Spectacular Disney California Adventure Expansion in Its All-New Fall Issue12:00 EDT Friday, July 27, 2012
BURBANK, Calif. (Business Wire) -- From the high-octane thrills of Cars Land to the immersive beauty of
Buena Vista Street, the fall issue of Disney twenty-three, the
flagship magazine of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, offers a
complete insider's guide to the spectacular expansion of Disney
California Adventure.
Available nationwide on Aug. 14, the fall issue of Disney twenty-three
takes readers on a journey through the stunning reimagining of the park
with exclusive interviews, breathtaking photography, and surprising
details straight from Disney Imagineers, who designed the new buildings,
attractions and entertainment featured in the park. Along with the new
issue, D23 Gold Members will receive a special member-only gift: a
colorful, commemorative magnetic postcard celebrating Disney California
Adventure's incredible expansion.
“Disney fans around the world are flocking to Disney California
Adventure to experience the extraordinary transformation of the park,”
said Steven Clark, head of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. “With the
fall issue of the magazine, we decided to take D23 Members more deeply
than ever into the making of 20 new attractions and shows that have been
added to the park during the five-year expansion.”
The fall issue also celebrates ABC's hit series Once Upon a Time,
looking at the show's roots in Disney mythology and offering a sneak
peek at its upcoming second season. The story features exclusive
interviews with the show's creators and stars, including Jennifer
Morrison, Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin — a D23 Member who opens up
about her love of all things Disney.
Disney twenty-three also explores the most exciting new
developments throughout Disney — while offering new insight into fan
favorites. In its pages, Disney fans will be able to:
